OOC

Gonna eat breakfast, then will post the start to the game thread. I put up a Briefing thread for you all in Operation ALICE, feel free to take a peek at that in the meantime.

Alice? Alice? Who the ... is Alice?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That kind of deniability will get you far in this line of work, Qralloq

Sorry for the 48 hour long breakfast, lol. Weekends can be tough for me to post during. But Operation ALICE has begun. Threads here.

ahahah well i guess i must have had a good breakfast also :D i haven't been able to get on until just today XDD

I've also started a repository for clues/"handout information" here. I'll get one together for NPCs as we need it.

Remind me... have we worked together before, or is this our first mission together?

i kinda assumed we all knew each other somewhat, being in the same cell.

Yeah, let’s assume you have at least one operation together as a group. I don’t think any of you have probably been involved in more than a couple operations - your agents dont have the SAN scores to reflect that and I don’t wanna go thru the kerfuffle of doing ‘damaged vet’ modifications (optional rules in the book) - but I think it’s easiest to proceed with the framework that this iteration of K Cell has seen action once, maybe twice before.

Oops, I kinda applied the 'damaged vet' mods, let me go back and reset my character sheet to remove them. (Much better for starting SAN properly)

Yeah, I’d say don’t use the damaged stats, for now. Not that there’s anything *wrong* with them per se, but this is the start of a whole campaign and y’all will likely be leaking SAN sooner rather than later.

Also added a little microfiction by Adam Scott Glancy (one of the game's original designers/writers, back when it was a CoC5E hack) here. "Alphonse's Axioms for Agents". These are not hard and fast rules that you must follow, obviously, but I posted it to give a little more insight into the mindset of a DG agent. And, yanno, the axioms aren't the worst advice on operational procedure, either.

Alphonse, for the record, is the never-seen, nearly mythical leader of A Cell, and the top dog of the conspiracy. Who he is, where he is, or if he even really exists at all are all unclear.

Cave, you’re cracking me up in the discord rn

what did i do this time :D

GIPHY Gang, baybee

hahaha oh XD it takes me moments to get caught up on the forums vs discord :P

hahahaha this made me chuckle
16 and 30 almost contradict each other :D

Also almost contradictory XD
42. Never leave teammates behind where the authorities can find them.

43. Always report back to A-cell. Even if that means leaving your team to die.

I'm heading home for the 4th of July this afternoon. I'll probably still post updates (tho no promises), but at a reduced pace, through the weekend.

Leave a post and let me know if you're going to be affected by holiday plans beyond the 4th itself.

I'm Canadian, so no. But happy July 4 to my fine American neighbours!

haaha, I'm normally on this primarly at work but i'll try and check it no promises
